Mensch previously helped establish Heat Street, a libertarian news and commentary site which is a subsidiary of News Corporation. A harsh critic of President Trump, Mensch appeared in John Podesta’s emails suggesting a campaign ad for former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton during the 2016 presidential election, according to Politico.

The journalist and her coworker Claude Taylor claimed in May that the U.S. Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court had issued an indictment against Trump to form the groundwork for the president’s impeachment, according to Observer. But these courts do not issue indictments.

Mensch has previously blamed Russia or Putin, frequently without evidence, for incidents such as the terrorist bombing of a bus ridden by a German soccer team and the death of Andrew Breitbart.

Mensch has previously admitted that drug abuse in her youth damaged her mental health and claimed to have ADHD. British reporter Andrew Neil was so confounded by a range of her allegations that he was recently prompted to ask her, “Have you become delusional?”
